In a spraying-mac line, in combination with means for disehargim aspray of liquid, a fan, means for rotating the fan, .a nozzle for discharging air from the fan in the direction that the spray is discharged, and pipes for connecting the fan and nozzle.

3. The combination of a tank to contain liquid, a spraying-nozzle connected to the tank, a pump to supply air under pressure to the tank, a fan-hlower, and a nozzle connected to the fan-blower to discharge a blast of air in the direction that the spray is discharged.

- 4. The combination of a tank to contain liquid, means for supplying air under pres sure to the tank,-a fan-blower, an air-nozzle and a sprayingmozzle, manually-operated means for supporting and adjusting said nozzles, and flexible pipes "respectively connecting the tan and thetank with the respective nozzles 5. The combination of a hood open at the bottom and front, an air-nozzle and a spraying-nozzle supported beneath the hood, a fanblower connected to the air-nozzle, a tank to contain liquid and connected to the spraying-nozzle, means for supplying air under pressure to the tank, and an adjustable pivotal support for the hood.

6. The combination of a rotative and longitudinal] '-movable rock-shaft, a manuallyoperated l ever attached thereto, an arm ri idly extending from the rock-shaft, a hooii, an air-nozzle and a spray-nozzle sup orted by the said arm, a fan-blower, a flexib e pipe connection between the blower and the airnozzle, a tank, llexible pipe connections between the tank and the sprayin -nozzle, means for supplyingliquid to the tan means for supplying air under pressure to the tank, and means for rotating the fan.

7. The combination of a frame, a rotative axle supporting the frame, wheels attached to the axle and rotating the same, a fanblower mounted on the frame, sprocketwheels and chain connecting the axle and the blower, a liquid-tank mounted on the frame, an air-pump, a crank-shaft journale'cl on the frame, gears connecting the crankshaft and the axle. a pitman-rod connecting the crankshaft and pump, an air-nozzle connected to the fan, a spraying-nozzle connected to the tank, flexible pipe connections between the respective nozzles, the fan and the tank, and means for manually adjusting the nozzles.
